It doesn't look like a real person.

It looks like someone took a character out of Final Fantasy and changed her clothes.

That's what I thought too. She looked familiar somehow.

I'll agree on that. Still, it's creepy. *insert old scared, shivering smiley here*

It reminds me of some androids that are in Ghost in the Shell (Stand Alone Complex). They did look "realistic", but it was quite obvious that they were machines.

...Wow.

I'll only be frightened once they're sentient, but even then...wow.

The robot looks like a mannequin, it doesn't look real.

But don't you find it even the least bit creepy that they're trying to make it imitate breathing?

Yes, I do! If you want to make robots, fine, but making them look like US?! :o

Blech. I thought they had given up on making "realistic human" looking robots after it was discovered that something that looks almost human is far creepier than something just vaguely humanoid. Creepy to the point where it repulses real humans.

If you don't get it spot on then it looks extremely creepy. The fact that this one has spasm glitches probably doesn't help!
